sion control.
To present the importance
of improved practices in con
serving 'Soil and water _ re
sources to our youlth, a 4jH

organized in the northeast
part of the county; this
group of boys studied the
principles of conservation and

The importance of proper
conservation practices was in
cluded in a number of news
articles and radio broadcasts
